Butyl Lactate is a lactic acid ester that is colorless and clear with a characteristic odor. Mixes with hydrocarbons, oils, gasoline, and other solvents. Very little solubility with water, which is different from Ethyl Lactate and Methyl Lactate. This ester has a high boiling point and high KB value with low volatility, and so has applicability as a special grease solvent.
